I made Pom Poms at work.. We are having a Christmas Decoration Competition and since I am admin and don't actually have a team, I adopted myself to the closest team to me. Thakfully, they love my DIY efforts even though they are kind of poor!

I also made a cool star made from paper. It took ages and so I only made one. If I get more time, perhaps I will make more.

S and I had a great time in New Zealand. The scenery was amazing and everyone is so friendly! Here are a few snaps that I have saved on my work computer

This was on the way to Milford Sound - snow everywhere!

View of Milford Sound from the boat we were on

Lake Tekapo

Christchurch - so very sad to see!

Teddy, our dog stayed at a schanuzer boarding place and was sufficiently worn out by the time we picked him up. We were told he had a fantastic time and we are very thankful that he had such good accommodation where people loved him just as much as we do!

Since holidays, I have gotten stuck in to some uni work...so nothing too exciting.

Poor Teddy hasn't been groomed since before Winter. We thought it best to leave his hair so he wouldn't be too cold..especially considering he hates his jackets we bought him. He looks like this at the moment...

Lucky he is booked in to the groomers on Saturday. I think it will be a welcome change for him because it is starting to get a lot warmer in Sydney! I will update with a pic once he is home from the groomer.

There is a blog I follow called Talk2thetrees and the owner, Rachael is an incredibly talented artist. She sells her paintings on etsy and announced not long ago that she would be making necklaces and using some of the paintings she had created.. I just love her work and so I went ahead and bought a necklace which arrived yesterday.

It is so lovely! I wore it today (to my last exam for the session, woohoo!) and I plan to wear it again tomorrow. It is so different and unique and didn't cost much either!

Is anyone else addicted? I spend so much time on there now. This is not a very good thing since I have exams at the moment and I already spend so much time reading blogs. But honestly, it is so interesting and gives me some really lovely ideas to use.

S and I will be off to NZ at the end of next week. This comes at a great time because we've both got uni exams this week. We're going to Lake Tekapo, Queenstown, Milford Sound then back up to Christchurch.

We've also booked a holiday to Japan for Christmas/New Year. At this point in time, I am actually more excited about that holiday. We're heading to the snow first and staying here:

Today, I woke up and it had turned itself off over night. When I went to bed it had full battery... after many attempts of turning it on, taking out the battery and putting it back in, charging it etc.. it still won't turn on. I think it has died :-(

I think I will go to Optus tomorrow and see if I can upgrade my phone early.. I want an Iphone and I would have liked to wait until the Iphone5 was released, but sadly I don't think I will be able to.

Other than that, I have had a lovely Sunday. S and I walked our dog to Victoria Park..then came home and I am doing a uni assignment (sigh).

Last weekend, S and I had his sister and her boy friend over. We headed to the pub for dinner and then came back to our house for drinks. We decided to experiment with the camera..which ended up with us posing for the camera (not that I am any good at it!)

I love Sales... at the moment DJ's and Myer have their clearance sales.

I have gotten new shoes, a new pair of jeans and a new top for $190..which is a saving of about $200!!

S and I have decided to buy some Ralph Lauren bedding and towels online. We did a rough costing today and all up for a sheet set, quilt cover and 4 towels it will cost $200 (not including postage). In Australia the towels are $99.95 each, so we are saving a lot of money!

On the weekend, we celebrated S's Mum's 50th birthday. S's family own a farm which is where the party was held. Caterer's were hired to come in (that had a 2 hat rating) and overall the night was just perfect.

The amazing food

My dog Teddy and I...he was pretty tired

Every good party needs balloons

We didn't end up going to bed until 4am..definitely the best party this year!

I used to be on the blog bandwagon, but after three posts I pretty much forgot about it..that is until my addiction to Vogue forums started. Clicking on random people's blogs and reading about all these different people has inspired me to again start a blog.

A bit about me...

My name is Rhiannon. I live in the Inner West of Sydney with my parter S and our little schnauzer Teddy. I work full time and do uni by correspondence (exciting, I know :-S).

I think through my blog posts you will get to know me more, so I will keep it short for now!
